Get back to nature at this hillside escape with views of Lock Eck and the mountains of Beinn Mhor. Spend your days walking woodland trails, and your evenings staring at the stars while sitting in the hot tub or on the decking after a quick trip to the pub down the road and a few minutes in the sauna. The lodge comfortably sleeps four, and with a double and a twin, it’s great for a family or friends and their canine companion.
This one-storey lodge is bright and contemporary with space to relax, cook and eat together in the open-plan living area. It sits on the hillside among woodland just up from the loch with incredible views from inside and the decking. If you get home cold and wet after a fun day out, you can relax in the spa-style bath, and heat up in the sauna which is in the double bedroom or the hot tub outside.
You and your pup certainly won’t run out of things to do with stunning walks along the loch and up into the hills. Wander along the loch, where red squirrels forage on its shores, or take to the water on a canoe or kayak. The local inn is just 300 metres away on the shore of the loch for a drink or dinner in front of the wood burner with your furry friend. Why not head to Glenbranter, which has lots of different trails, from short walks to all-day bike rides, including the waterfall trail, a 2-mile route to view the waterfalls above Glenbranter where you might spot red squirrels, roe deer, buzzards, woodpeckers or crossbills. Your dog will also love Ardentinny on Loch Long – it has the longest sandy beach on the Cowal Peninsula and a network of woodland trails for you both to explore.
